    So you're going to speed run the next set of content, and the next set after that. To me that seems more like a drug addiction than enjoying a game.

    To be fair, speed running allows you to get to new fun content quicker. I haven't geared myself at all yet but i'd like to do some of those later dungeons since that's what i'll enjoy, doing the same dungeon for an hour 48 times or w/e that guy above said isn't enjoying a game either. It's not really that fun for some people and is just busy work to keep you paying instead.

    I think that mostly all the players have or will complete any dungeon the normal way a few times, so what you said here is really valid only to a point. And then, they speed up. Why? Cause it's more rewarding (dare I say fun) having more tomes in less time than doing the dungeon that they have completed the normal way a few times and experienced it fully. Two slower runs in 2 hours VS 4 speed runs in the same time (waiting times aside, ofc). For most people, this is a no choice situation. Less time, less grind, lower repair costs, more rewarding.... I'm actually puzzled why would anyone question people's choice to speed run dungeons really.
